no THE LOT HOLDERS
The Greenmount Cemetery.

The notice lately published, stating the deter
mination of the Board of Managers to take entire
charge of all work in the Cemetery from and after
April l, instant, has caused an application to the
Board protesting against it, on the ground that
while outside parties would be deprived ofcertain
profits under agreements with lotholders for keep
ing their lots in order, the rights of the latter to
employ whom they pleased for the purpose would
be interfered with.
AS stated by the present Superintendent, some
three or four thousand lots now kept in order
by outsiders, at profit, over and above the cost
of the work, which the Superintendent estimates
at from eight to ten thousand dollars per annum
which is paid to some eight or ten persons, who
have no interest in the Cemetery, except, perhaps,
as the owners of their respective lots. This work
the Board of Managers is prepared to do the
same TERMS so that, really, the only question is
,chether this large sum shall be paid to outsiders
or inure to the benefit of the lOholders themselves,
in the maintenance of the Cemetery in unex-
ceptionable condition, besides aiding in securing
capital that will suffice to preserve the Cemetery
when the sales of lots shall cease, and when the
burial charges shall be insufficient for the purpose.
To meet this contingency, the Board had accu-
muated, as appears by their report of 1882, $780,
361. SO, which in few years would have become
$780, 900 had the sales of lots continued at first,
and until within few years. This source of re-
ceipts, however, having diminished as the Gene
terry filled up, it was renewed when the Cemetery
was extended to North avenue and Ensor street,
respectively. The addition, however, apart from
the cost of the property, involved extensive wall
ing and heavy grading which reduced the reserv-
ed fund to $4,000. 1t is the purpose of the
Board of Managers to restore this to what
it was in 1882, and to 100000, or more if
deemed necessary-a policy from which they are
not disposed to be diverted to enable outsiders to
enjoy, at the expense of the lotholders, the in
-. k,I- Ixr ID AID Aho
Board of Managers believe that they may conf

propose to pursue.

@-Politics are warming up in the several
districts of the county and the campaign of the
coming summer and fall promises to be the live
list one we have experienced in many years
Since the memorable primary fight of last fall,
which resulted in two county conventions, many
of the active Democrats have changed front and
in the coming contest they will be arrayed on the
side which was then unsuccessful. It is too early
yet to judge as to the rank and file of the party
and say how the majority will stand on the issues
involved in the campaign, but as the average
voter, as politics are managed in the present day,
has very little to do with selecting his delegate
ticket, he will no doubt, as heretofore, come up
promptly and deposit his vote for such men as
are put up for him by the managers in the several
districts 1t will be fight of the Gins" against
the "outs' principally, and as there are SO many
out who want to get in, they are getting ready to
make things lively when the time comes. There
appear to be more interests at stake in the coming
campaign than. in any previous one for many
years, and the combinations formed in the diff
ferent districts-in some of them, at least-will
include candidates for nearly half the offices to
be filed. Of course all these cannot expect to
win, but they will pool their issues and in the end
the longest pole will knock the persimmons.

There is considerable speculation as to
the status of the LIST election district in the
coming primary contest in this county and q
regarding it. Mr.. Edward W. Stiefel, who is a
recognized power in the district, is q candidate
for Register of Wills, and Mr.. John Hubner, who
so creditably represented the county in the last
Legislature, will, it is thought, again allow his
name to be presented. Messrs. Stiefel and Hub
ner are friends personally and politically and il
is asserted that they will be together in the pri-
mary contest. If this is true, and we have no
doubt it is, they will make very strong team
and it would not be difficult matter to foretell
the result.
